Lady Susan is a short epistolary novel by Jane Austen, possibly written in 1794 but not published until 1871. his epistolary novel, an early complete work that the author never submitted for publication, describes the schemes of the main character-the widowed Lady Susan-as she seeks a new husband for herself and one for her daughter. Although the theme, together with the focus on character study and moral issues, is close to Austen's published work (Sense and Sensibility was also originally written in the epistolary form), its outlook is very different, and the heroine has few parallels in 19th-century literature. Lady Susan is a selfish, unscrupulous and scheming woman, highly attractive to men, who tries to trap the best possible husband while maintaining a relationship with a married man. She subverts all the standards of the romantic novel: she has an active role, she is not only beautiful but intelligent and witty, and her suitors are significantly younger than she is (in contrast with Sense and Sensibility and Emma, which feature marriages by their female protagonists to men who are 16 years older). Although the ending includes a traditional reward for morality, Lady Susan herself is treated more leniently than the adulteress in Mansfield Park, who is severely punished The main character is aged about 35 or 36 years old. Given her courtesy title, she is the daughter of either an Earl, Marquess or Duke. She is a widow of just a few months, who is known to flagrantly manipulate and seduce single and married men alike. As she has been left in a financially precarious state due to the death of her first husband, she uses flirtation and seduction to gain her objectives and maintain a semblance of her former opulent lifestyle. As a widow and a mother, her main goals are to quickly marry off her daughter Frederica (of whom she is contemptuous, regarding her as stupid and stubborn) to a wealthy man, and to marry an even better match herself. Mrs. Vernon describes her as "...really excessively pretty. I have seldom seen so lovely a woman as Lady Susan. She is delicately fair, with fine grey eyes and dark eyelashes; and from her appearance one would not suppose her more than five and twenty, though she must in fact be ten years older. I was certainly not disposed to admire her...but I cannot help feeling that she possesses an uncommon union of symmetry, brilliancy and grace." Lady Susan is cold towards her daughter, for whom she feels little or no affection: she calls her "a stupid girl" who "has nothing to recommend her." It is possible that Jane Austen drew on the character of the mother of her neighbour, a beautiful Mrs. Craven, who had actually treated her daughters quite cruelly, locking them up, beating and starving them, till they ran away from home or married beneath their class to escape.

Every author has projects which, for any number of reasons, are never completed. Jane Austen started work on these two novels, Sanditon and The Watsons, but completed neither. This book contains the chapters of these two novels which Austen wrote, and offers a fascinating look at these incomplete novels by this much-loved author.

In a retired part of the County of Sussex there is a village (for what I know to the Contrary) called Evelyn, perhaps one of the most beautiful Spots in the south of England. A Gentleman passing through it on horseback about twenty years ago, was so entirely of my opinion in this respect, that he put up at the little Alehouse in it and enquired with great earnestness whether there were any house to be lett in the parish. The Landlady, who as well as every one else in Evelyn was remarkably amiable, shook her head at this question, but seemed unwilling to give him any answer. He could not bear this uncertainty-yet knew not to obtain the information he desired. To repeat a question which had already appear'd to make the good woman uneasy was impossible. He turned from her in visible agitation. "What a situation am I in!" said he to himself as he walked to the window and threw up the sash. He found himself revived by the Air, which he felt to a much greater degree when he had opened the window than he had done before. Yet it was but for a moment. The agonizing pain of Doubt and Suspence again weighed down his Spirits. The good woman who had watched in eager silence every turn of his Countenance with that benevolence which characterizes the inhabitants of Evelyn, intreated him to tell her the cause of his uneasiness. "Is there anything, Sir, in my power to do that may releive your Greifs? Tell me in what manner I can sooth them, and beleive me that the freindly balm of Comfort and Assistance shall not be wanting; for indeed, Sir, I have a simpathetic Soul." "Amiable Woman" (said Mr. Gower, affected almost to tears by this generous offer) "This Greatness of mind in one to whom I am almost a Stranger, serves but to make me the more warmly wish for a house in this sweet village. What would I not give to be your Neighbour, to be blessed with your Acquaintance, and with the farther knowledge of your virtues! Oh! with what pleasure would I form myself by such an example! Tell me then, best of Women, is there no possibility?-I cannot speak-You know my Meaning-.

How often, in answer to my repeated intreaties that you would give my Daughter a regular detail of the Misfortunes and Adventures of your Life, have you said "No, my freind never will I comply with your request till I may be no longer in Danger of again experiencing such dreadful ones."

Pride and Prejudice is an 1813 romantic novel of manners written by Jane Austen. The novel follows the character development of Elizabeth Bennet, the dynamic protagonist of the book, who learns about the repercussions of hasty judgments and eventually comes to appreciate the difference between superficial goodness and actual goodness. A classic piece filled with comedy, its humor lies in its honest depiction of manners, education, marriage and money during the Regency era in Great Britain.

C'est une vérité universellement reconnue qu'un célibataire pourvu d'une belle fortune doit avoir envie de se marier, et, si peu que l'on sache de son sentiment à cet égard, lorsqu'il arrive dans une nouvelle résidence, cette idée est si bien fixée dans l'esprit de ses voisins qu'ils le considèrent sur-le-champ comme la propriété légitime de l'une ou l'autre de leurs filles. - Savez-vous, mon cher ami, dit un jour Mrs. Bennet à son mari, que Netherfield Park est enfin loué ? Mr. Bennet répondit qu'il l'ignorait. - Eh bien, c'est chose faite. Je le tiens de Mrs. Long qui sort d'ici. Mr. Bennet garda le silence. - Vous n'avez donc pas envie de savoir qui s'y installe ! s'écria sa femme impatientée. - Vous brûlez de me le dire et je ne vois aucun inconvénient à l'apprendre. Mrs. Bennet n'en demandait pas davantage.

When Fannie Price is sent to live with her rich uncle and aunt Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram at the age of ten, she finds that she is treated like a poor unwanted cousin. Most of the novel features Fannie at age eighteen and nineteen. She's been in love with her cousin Edmund, who is the only one of her cousins to show her any true kindness. The problem is that Edmund is in love with Mary Crawford. Mansfield Park is perhaps Jane Austen's most controversial novel, and it features a good deal of social satire. This Large Print Edition is presented in easy-to-read 16 point type.

Questo terzo romanzo della Austen, che viene dopo "Ragione e sentimento" e "Orgoglio e pregiudizio", fu pubblicato nel 1814, ed ebbe subito un grande successo di pubblico, pur essendo stato pubblicato a spese dell'autrice (che continuava a mantenere l'anonimato). La Austen continua nella sua analisi apparentemente distaccata delle dinamiche familiari e della società rispetto all'importanza del denaro nelle scelte matrimoniali. Schiacciata dai presunti doveri verso la società e il mantenimento della proprietà, i valori morali e religiosi, e i sentimenti personali, la vita dei protagonisti lotta per una libertà almeno simile a quella della natura inglese che fa da sfondo costante alle vicende narrate.

Jane Austen (1775 - 1817) was an English novelist whose works of romantic fiction, set among the landed gentry, earned her a place as one of the most widely read writers in English literature. Her realism, biting irony and social commentary have gained her historical importance among scholars and critics. From 1811 until 1816, with the release of Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814) and Emma (1815), she achieved success as a published writer. She wrote two additional novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, both published posthumously in 1818, and began a third, which was eventually titled Sanditon, but died before completing it. In this book: Pride and Prejudice Emma Sense and Sensibility

Lady Susan Vernon is a widow who loves to manipulate and seduce men. Single, married, it's all the same to her. She has two goals--first to marry off her daughter to a man who has enough money to care for her, and second to marry someone even richer herself. The story unfolds in epistolary form, and is quite different from Jane Austen's other work. For example, Lady Susan is more than a match for any man she meets, she's not only beautiful and smart, but tends to seduce younger men--in Austen's novels, her heroines always go for older men. A very interesting change of pace, this novella was written before Sense and Sensibility.

Sense and Sensibility (traduit en français par Raison et Sensibilité, Raison et Sentiments, ou encore Le Coeur et la Raison) est le premier roman publié de la femme de lettres anglaise Jane Austen. Il paraît en 1811 de façon anonyme puisqu'il était signé by a Lady ( [signé] par une dame ). En effet, sa position sociale interdisait à Jane Austen de signer de son nom un roman destiné à la vente, mais elle ne voulait pas cacher qu'il était l'oeuvre d'une femme. Le texte initial, écrit vers 1795, probablement sous forme épistolaire, avait pour titre le nom des deux héroïnes, Elinor et Marianne, comme beaucoup de romans écrits par des femmes au XVIIIe siècle, mais le choix du titre définitif, pour la publication en 1811, semble indiquer une volonté didactique. Marianne Dashwood, ardente et romanesque, qui croit passionnément pouvoir s'affranchir des convenances, s'affiche avec le séduisant Willoughby dont elle est tombée amoureuse, tandis que sa soeur aînée, la raisonnable Elinor, cache le tendre sentiment que lui inspire son beau-frère, Edward Ferrars. Marianne devra apprendre à surmonter la trahison des sentiments, dans la douleur et avec l'aide de sa soeur, qui, de son côté, refuse stoïquement de rèver et se dévoue à sa famille. Publié par Thomas Egerton, et à compte d'auteur, à l'automne 1811, le roman est accueilli plutôt favorablement et paraît en français dès 1815, dans une traduction-adaptation très libre par Isabelle de Montolieu, sous le titre Raison et Sensibilité, ou les Deux Manières d'aimer. La traduction de Sensibility en français semble poser problème, puisque les traductions modernes hésitent entre sentiments et coeur. Mais les adaptations, que ce soit celle pour le cinéma d'Ang Lee, sur un scénario d'Emma Thompson en 1995, ou celle pour la télévision d'Andrew Davies en 2008, sont connues en français sous le titre Raison et Sentiments.

Perhaps as early as 1787, Austen began to write poems, stories, and plays for her own and her family's amusement. Austen later compiled "fair copies" of these early works into three bound notebooks, now referred to as the "Juvenilia," containing pieces originally written between 1787 and 1793. (from Wikipedia) . The 3rd volume of juvenilia includes: * Evelyn * Catharine . Cover image: Back View of Jane Austen, Watercolor by Cassandra Austen

Meet Elizabeth Bennet, twenty years old, smart, sarcastic, attractive, and a little quick to judge based on selective first impressions. When she first meets Mr. Darcy, she is not impressed. The man is not fond of dancing or making light conversation. When Elizabeth's sister, Jane, catches cold and is forced to stay at Netherfield for a short time, Elizabeth arrives to take care of her, and is forced to spend time with that condescending Mr. Darcy. She has no interest in him, of course, preferring to spend time with Mr. Wickham, and a love triangle is formed where Wickham and Darcy are enemies and both want to be with Elizabeth. This classic novel of romance among the landed gentry at the turn of the 19th century has been one of the most popular novels of English literature.
